Maine doesn't even sponsor 5 sports that AE counts, so the Black Bears will never win this anyway (neither will Hartford or Northeastern). Boston U. has a great women's program, but when a school doesn't sponsor football, baseball, or men's lacrosse, it's hard to take their overall program seriously.

P.S. - Can we count football or ice hockey?

Make up your mind mainejeff. You bitch that all anyone is talking about is basketball, so the Commish's Cup comes up, something for all sports, and you piss and moan that "Oh, Maine will never win anyway, it's a joke."

And get real, Maine wouldn't win even if non-AE sports counted. BU and UNH both beat them in hockey, and UNH and UVM have pretty good ski programs.

Quit your bitching. The league is not biased against Maine.

First of all.....I'll bitch all I want. Secondly, did I say don't talk about the Commish's Cup? I might dismiss its importance, but it is obviously very appropriate and timely to discuss.........now back to AE men's hoop recruits......yawn.

Hey Jeff,

Not to put a feather in BU's cap, but they also sponsor 4 sports that the AE doesn't sponsor (M/W Hockey [ok, so their women's hockey team is in the neophyte stage], and M/W crew).

NU also has the same 5 sports as Maine that the AE doesn't compete in, so what's your excuse?

The cost of having both men's and women's crew is ridiculous, believe it or not. Someone told me the costs of crew, and I nearly died.

I'm sure BU is the same as NU, but most of the major donors to the athletic department at NU are former rowers, and in fact NU Men's crew just announced a program to try and endow a complete boat of rowers plus the coaching position.

No excuses NU Hoop Fan.....Maine continues to be strong in womens hoop, baseball and field hockey......weak in sports they have always been weak in. Personally, I like the way Maine puts more resources into the "glamour" sports.
